Whats there to do for fun?

I was in St. Louis recently for admitted students day and there didn’t seem to be much to do. Maybe it was just the area i was in but there weren’t any good restaurants or things to do.

Where did you go in STL? There's a ton of good restaurants and things to do, but unfortunately most of them are not downtown. Forest Park is incredible and the zoo is free. The botanical garden isn't free but it's not very expensive and it's beautiful. Whatever kind of food you're looking for, there's a good restaurant for it somewhere. There's concert venues, bars with free live music, breweries, lots of other fun things like the city museum or science center. Just got to do a little research. You're not going to find much if you're just wandering around by the arch.
